Diet, smoking factor into risk of macular degeneration symptoms in the early stages, so it is important to have your eyes examined regularly. If you are at risk for AMD because of age, family history, lifestyle or some combination of factors, you should not wait to experience changes in vision before getting checked.

Rural communities are home to the majority of California's natural resources, providing the state with clean water, clean air and unsurpassed recreational opportunities.

From iconic state and national parks, to hiking and rock climbing, wine and beer tasting and numerous agricultural festivals, there is something for everyone to enjoy when visiting these regions. For those who callthese rural areas home, visitors are a leading source of economic prosperity. For example, according to a recent report by Dean Runyan Associates, over half of all Mariposa County jobs (52 percent) in 2013 were generated by travel and tourism. Across the state, travel and tourism is among the top five export industries in terms of employment in all of California's rural regions. Additionally, tourism generates local revenue needed to support residents in these more remote and underserved parts of the state. Rural counties rely heavily on visitor-generated sales and occupancy taxes. For example, in Mono County visitor spending supported the equivalent of more than $8,000 in state and local tax revenue per household. Visitors provide 57 percent of taxable sales in the county. There is a strong incentive to ensure the tourism industry continues to fuel local economies. Despite the Golden State's allure, competition for tourism is fierce. We can't simply sit back and hope that travelers will discover the sometimes hidden gems of our vaststate. Global marketing efforts to promote California as a travel destination are essential to growing local economies, especially in rural areas. In 2014, marketing efforts sponsored by Visit California returned $327 in visitor spending for every dollar invested by the tourism industry. As the Runyan report shows, many of those dollars bolstered rural economies, fueling the approximately $8.9 billion that was spent in California's rural counties last year. All of Visit California's marketing programs feature our rural destinations. Whether in its through our current television spots, which showcase hidden gems like Burney Falls and the sequoia forests near Santa Cruz, or our annual visitor guide and Road Trips publication, potential visitors are exposed to destinations in all corners of the state. In addition, Visit California works closely with rural counties to help them develop and maintain their own tourism marketing materials, supporting efforts to grow tourism economies at the local level. One of the best aspects of California as a tourism destinationis the diversity of experiences — from world-class urban centers to beaches, mountains and nationalparks — that attracts travelers of all interests from all over the world. It is specifically that natural beauty — environments rich with precious resources — that are the allure of our rural commu-

nities. While we will always see an influx of tourists to the major gateway cities, it is important that we continue our work to bring them deeper into the California experience. If California's recent economic growth is to continue, we must support industries that can provide benefits in all corners of the state. We should not overlookthe power oftourism to createjobs,opportunity and sustain services in rural California. Caroline Beteta, CEO and President of Visit

California, and Patricia Megason, Executive Vice President of Rural County Representatives of California, co-authored this editorial.

GUEST COLUMN

e t in in a run or oe i It's Joe Biden's moment to run for president. While everyone's watching the Republican candidates stretch the gamut from seriousdrama to outrageous farce,Joe Biden's confrontation with tragedy gives him gravitas and focuses the rest of us on his character. It's just possible he could defeat the "inevitable" Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, and even make it difficult for the ulti-

mate Republican candidate. In the now-famous interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" several nights ago, the vice president emphasized the importance of empathy, of understanding another's experiences, attitudes and emotions, a quality in short supply today among many candidates. He explained how he was tutored in empathy by his two sons, Hunter and the late Beau Biden,who kept him from developing a hardenedpoliticalfacade oran approach to politics that channels political positions into canned sound bites. The vice president described how once, after he finished talking to 70 million people, his sons, alone with him, spoke of what's important. "Look at us, Dad," they said. (We) are your home base. Remember who you are." Joe Biden never wandered far from his home base. The conversation with Stephen Colbert was remarkable because it lacked the emotional cant we' ve grown accustomed to hearing from our leaders when they speak of family, faith and community. When the host asked him how he was able to keep the counsel of his soul in a political city filled with people who lie to us all the time, he had a succinct answer. "I commuted back to Delaware every night." Suddenly we remembered why the Founding Fathers expected our representativesto live in their home states rather

YOUR VIEWS Blame lieswith local gov't To the Editor: Those that oppose the increasing big box store development have a point. For example, the Dollar General has a smaller footprint, but it is a multi-billion dollar corporation. A box store would affect the historic appearance of the Columbia area. An existing store with any similar products would suffer. It would also discourage a start-up that would fit into a Columbia location. Such big box stores rip the life out of family run stores. I was fortunate to speak with one Jamestown store owner. He made it clear his business had been hurt and had some layoffs caused by the local Dollar General store. The real blame does reside with the Board of Supervisors, City of Sonora, and county government. The rise of big box type stores is by design. Just look around

than in Washington — to stay in touch with their roots. As Washington grew, and our representatives spent increasing time in the capital city, they lost a sense of what's local, of a home base. In astrong contrast to the vice president talking about his home base, Hillary Clinton floods social media with nostalgic photographs of her as a younger woman, to remind female fans how she's been fighting for women's rights since before feminism was fashionable. From Wellesley, law school and the Children's Defense Fund, to school reform as first lady in Arkansas, she had their backs. "The pictures of her early years are

explains in The Washington Post how her excitement for Clinton goes back to 2008, when she was only 13 years old, but was as excited as her mother about Clinton possibly being the first woman president. But a grown-up Maya has become disillusioned and has persuaded her mom, who felt the same as Maya eight years ago, albeit from a mature perspective, that she' s no longer the "right woman." The bloom is definitely off the rose of an idea that the former first lady, former senator and former secretary of state must be the first woman president. "Ready for Hillary" always meant "ready for awoman," but her rose faded when mites and thrips attacked her explanation for her personal server, leaving the candidatemore than a little scarred and lusterless.

came from, the moments that shaped her life, " Jim Margolis, her media adviser told Politico. "It's not just talk, it's not more promises, but you can count on her to fight for you, because that's what she's always done." But political nostalgia is a doubleedged sword for Clinton, because voters who don't trust her are growing, and her past reminds them of why. Recent polls testify to a dramatic decline in Clinton's support from women since early summer. Whereas 71 percent of Democraticleaning female voters in July said they planned to vote for her, only 42 percent say that today, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. While the numbers are worrisome for her, even more troubling are the personal interviews that offer insight into their reason-

over her personal server, which makes it look like she wanted to hide her records from the public. The perception revives memories of the scandals from the former first lady's days at the White House when recordsmysteriously disappeared and reappearedyears later,related to herwork at the Rose Law Firm and her participation in the dismissal of White House travel staff A younger generation would neverhave been reminded ofallthathad

at the localstorechanges over thelast10 years. Due to government interference in the economy, small town Sonora is disappearing! With the arrival of box stores, local owned stores have shut down. Startups arediscouraged. Local government is desperate. They prove this by raising taxes, raising various fees, and exploiting the economy, picking big box stores. Past Tuolumne Utilities Board vacancies saw thousand of dollars donated to ensure victory. The board of supervisors led the way for certain "rubber stamp" candidates. As a reminder, families, little children and our senior community faced water rationing under threat. But water was given to theDollar General storesl The board ofsupervisors and local government leaders think they have a right to remake the local economy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve ended weeks ofspeculation Thursday by keeping U.S. interest rates at record lows in the faceofthreatsfrom a weak global economy, persistently low inflation and unstable financial markets. But at a news conference after a Fed policy meeting, Chair Janet Yellen said a rate hike was still likely this year. A majority of Fed officials on the committeethat sets the federal funds rate-

"October, it remains a possibility." In maintaining its policy, the Fed is keeping its benchmark short-term rate near zero, where it's been since the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. A higher Fed rate would eventually send

The ultra-low loan rates the Fed engineered were intended to help the economy recover from the Great Recession. Since then, the economy has nearly fullyrecovered even as pressures from abroad appear to have grown. In a statement it issued after its meeting ended, the Fed said that while the U.S. job market is solid, global pressures may "restrain economic activity" and further slow inflation. Signs of a sharp slowdown in China, the world's second-largest economy, and other emerging economies have intensified fear about the U.S. and global economy. And low oil prices and a highpriced dollar have kept inflation undesirably low. "We' re focused particularly on China and emerging markets," Yellen said at her news conference. 'We' ve long expected,as most analysts have, to see some slowing in Chinese growth over

might be a risk of a more abrupt slowdown than most analysts expect." China's economy has slowed for four straight years — from 10.6 percent in 2010 to 7.4 percent last year. The International Monetary Fund expects the Chinese economy to grow just 6.8 percentthisyear,slowestsince 1990. The continuation of the Fed's ultralow-rate policy likely means that rates on mortgages and car loans will remain low. That could help maintain steady economic growth and hiring in coming months. Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo, said he was a bit disappointed by theFed's delay because itsuggested that the U.S. economy still wasn't at full health. But by holding down loan rates, the delay could lift home sales and construction, he said. More homebuilding, in particular, can help drive growth by creating construction jobs and boosting

He became ahighly regarded teacher throughout the music education com-

"He was just an icon. He was really looked up to and really respected." Goldsmith served the Bay Section of the California Music Educators Association — a nonprofitcorporation

that supports charitable and educational efforts to promote quality music instruction within the state — for 12 years. He served with the organization as president, adjudication chairman, festivalchairman and editor, according to Alfred Music, the world's largest educational music publisher. He received the CMEA Bay Section Outstanding Music Educator Award in 1994. "He was just so inspiring to people," Dea said. "He knew how to answer questions that you would have about teaching.

Love said she became emotional when she saw a procession of emergency vehicles pass by her residence in Angels Camp Monday morning. "My son is a firefighter, and every time I see one of these guys go by, I see him," Love said. "It was an idea that I had. I envisioned us as a community, coming together to do this. And not just for the firefighters but to help us heal. This has been such a traumatic experience for all of us."

ButteMountain Road East of Jackson up Butte Mountain Road before noon Thursday, residents and property owners said they believe they know where the fir e started. "Locals are saying it started back on the south side of that ranch," said Linda Jeffries, who was home on Butte Mountain Lane when the Butte Fire was first reported at 2:26 p.m. Sept. 9. "The only thing we could see was a bunch of smoke the first few hours," Rick Je%ies said. 'We thought it would be something they could knock down really fast. There were lots of firefighters. We le at 3 p.m.and didn'tgive ita second thought." They went to Raley's supermarket in Jackson. They saw at least two planes flying near the smoke. Nancy Quontamatteo of Mountain Ranch said she too was shopping at Raley's. "I could see the smoke when I went in," Quontamatteo said. "It was still white smoke. I saw some planes over the smoke and I figured they were on it." "It seemed odd that it got out of controlso fast,"Jef-

fries said. "I' ve heard that one reason is at the back side of that ranch, it drops down into Mokelumne River canyon. It' s steep and everythmg down there is bone-dry." The Quontamatteos were

ordered to evacuate &om their home in Mountain Ranch last week and they are now staying with the Je&ies. The ranch the J effries referred to isfarther east up Butte Mountain Road. There are power lines on the 168-acre property. A field is scorched and fingers of the forestare burned. Cattle lay in the shade near a blackened patch of hillside before it drops steeply into the North Fork Mokelumne River drainage. Firefighters from Williams, Hamilton City, Colusa and Monterey were at the ranch Thursday. Many of them were collecting hundreds of yards of hoses laid out last week during the intense, unsuccessfulfightto stop the blaze in its tracks. Answering the front door for a reporter Thursday morning before anyone asked any questions, one of the property owners said, 'We' re here at ground zero."

Thursday, but mostly kept his head down. The video, which was recorded by Detective Chad Poortinga of the Calaveras County SherifFs Office in April 2013,began atthe front door of the home. Throughout the f ootage, various items were shown scattered around the house, including clothes, children' s toys and dishes. P oortinga narrated t h e footageat the instruction of Calaveras County District Attorney Barbara Yook. The defendant kept his head down and did not watch the video, which was about 15 minutes long. As the footage played, Barney Fowler, the father, got out of his seat, which was behind the defense table, stood in the back of the courtroom and continued watching. He eventually left the courtroom with his wife, Crystal, for the remainder of the video. After entering the home, the footage panned to the kitchen area, where two black-handled knives were shown on a large towel near the sink. The bathroom in the hallway of the home was then shown. On Wednesday, video footage of the boy being interviewed by Calaveras County Sheriff"s Sgt. Wade Whitney was played in court. In the footage,the defendant told Whitney that the day Leila Fowler was killed, he was using the hallway bathroom when he heard a man's voice

say something along the lines of, "Hey, I know you' re in there. Come out." Then he said he heard the girl screaming. The boy said a male intruder, who was dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans, entered the home while the father and stepmother were attending a baseball game nearby. When he went to check on

Leila Fowler, he saw she had been stabbed, he said. The camera then entered thegirl'sroom. At that point, the defendant began subtly swaying in his seat.

Two towels in front of the closet were shown soaked in blood. The camera then panned to

walker as he recovers from hip surgery and two knee surgeries in the past year. Aileen has arthritis and uses a wheelchair to get around. "We were up here," Aileen Charamuga said. 'They evacuated me. When Jamie came running up with the baby, she tried to fight the fire with a

shovel down by the barn. She said, 'Grandma, there's a fire!' "She came up and gave the baby andthe 3-year-old to m e and went back to fighting the fire. That's when I noticed the firemen were already here." 'They responded very, very fast," Bill Charamuga said. 'That's what I'm saying, the firefighters were great," Aileen Charamuga said. "They were here so fast. When they took me out there were already nine big units down by the barn." The last blaze to threaten Charamuga Ranch before the Butte Fire was about 20 years ago, Bill Charamuga said. 'That was a big fire, too," he said. "It was big to us. It burned up to the house."

a bunk-bed in the room. Smears of b l ood w ere shown on the walls near the top bunk and on nearby window blinds. Poortinga testified Thursday that, during the investigation,he found what appeared to be Leila Fowler's Nintendo DS in the living room of the home. Pictures taken on the devicewere datedApril27,2013 — the day she was lulled. One picture, time-stamped at 9:58a.m., was ofblue pancakes. Poortinga also noted that, as he was walking down the hallway of the home, he noticedsix picture frames were hung, grouped together. One of the frames, he said, was empty. Poortinga added that he inspected the back deck of the home and the area surrounding the home and did not find any potential evidence. H e did, however,find blood on the door kame of the &ont door. Calaveras County Sheriff's Deputy DeAyrian Sanchez testified Thursday she assisted in the investigation of the Fowler's home. Sanchez said the hallway bathroom was "unusually" cleaner than the rest of the house. Sanchez said, while investigating Leila Fowler's room, she saw toys and clothes scattered everywhere. "The carpet in front of the closetwas soaked in blood," she said, adding that her team cut the carpet out for evidence.

Authorities have eliminated multiple suspects throughout the case. One lead was provided by a woman who claimed she saw the killer. She eventually recanted her statements without explanation when asked to help a sketchartist. Another lead, a man who was arrested on kidnapping and burglary charges in Placerville around the time Leila Fowler was killed, was also eliminated after authorities interviewed witnesses in Placerville. Detectives alsoinvestigated a tip about a bloody hitchhiker picked up in the area. They contacted the driver and hitchhiker and determined the hitchhiker, who had an injury, was not a suspect. The crime was reported about 12:15 p.m. April 27, 2013. Leila Fowler was taken to Mark Twain Medical Center in San Andreas, where she was pronounced dead at 1:01 p.m. The trial is scheduled to resume today.

Bill Charamuga sketched a map to show where the power line and individual poles are. "That pole, it's off in the trees," he said. Pacific Gas & Electric contractors came out in r ecent

weeks to cut trees and limbs away fiom the power line, Aileen Charamuga said. "Nobody has come up to interview us," Bill Charamuga said. 'They talked to the Sanchez family." Under the power line and near the polespecified by the Charamugas, there was a patch of ash surrounded by blackened woody material and some cut limbs. A cluster of about 10 red flags and a lengthofred tape encircled the ash patch. Asked Thursday afternoon about the location of the point of origin for the Butte Fire, Lynsey Paulo of PG&E said, "It's a Cal Fire investigation and we' re cooperating fully." Cal Fire Capt. Mike Nobler of South Ops in Riverside, a spokesman for Butte Fire incident command, emphasized Thursday the investigation of how the blaze started was still ongoing with no determinations reached. "We' re w orking w i t h PG&E," Mohler said. "Our investigators are looking at circumstances. Where did it start? How did it start? Was it power? We have to look at all the circumstances and rule out a number of things. Was it a tree that fell? We have to look at all these variables before we reach any conclusions."

under a Pacific Gas & Electricpower line that stretches across part of their ranch, Bill Charamuga said. "And we know that for a fact,"Aileen Charamuga said. "Underneath that power line the wind was blowing so hard the embers carried over our property to the barn," Bill Charamuga said.

Power of 1

Maggie Beck / Union Democrat

Pastor Skip Ferris stands in front of a sign announcing his church's new name, New Life Bible Church. The church, on Stockton Road in Sonora, was formerly Sonora Baptist Church.

One small act could save a lifeof a veteran or servicemember in crisis, someone who may be thinking about suicide.

pastor. He relocated from Manteca, where he served as a full-time youth pastor. The subject of changing the church's name has been floating around for about five or six years, Ferris said. It was all about finding the right time. About this time last year, members of the church's leadership team collectively decided it was time to

"We are hoping that the new name will also attract more members. This church has been hidden up on this hill surrounded by treesfor over 60 years.

"As we studied scripture, we noticed how God changes names often, and hedoes that to defi ne a new identity with people, a new role, mission and ministry," said Ferris. The new name needed to accomplish two things: First, glorify God, and second, define who we are as a church, Ferris said. "As a church, we decided we wanted to be known as the church that isn't defined by our past, but wanted to be defined by what God is doing as we move forward,"he said. Members of the congregation

was installed in the worship center, and a cry room for nursing mothers is currently in the works, Ferris said. Changing the name was the biggest thing we' ve done as a church, he said, adding that it was a surprise how smooth the process was. "We' re not a big church. On a typical Sunday, about 70 people attend, and I'd say more than 10 percent are children, which is fun," he said. "We will have to do more fundraising to change all of the small details that really addup,such aspostagestamps with the old name," Ferris said.

"The biggest thing I enjoy as a pastor is teaching the word of God to people and watching it change their lives," he said. "As a congregation we wanted to be defined by scripture and our relationship with Christ. Based on that, my passion is to teach what scripture means and how we should apply it to our lives," Ferris said. The church puts on Family Night at 6:15 p.m. every Tuesday, which includes a Bible study for all ages. Ferris teaches the adult study while his wife, Jeanine Ferris, 50, leads a workshop for children' s ministry. The Ferris' have four children, Gavis Ferris, 21, Allison Wayman, 24, Kathleen Ferris, 17, and Jocelyn Ferris, 12. Gavin is currently a junior at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, where he is studying to be a pastor. The church also holds a Bible study at 9:15 a.m. each Sunday before the main worship service, which begins at 10:30 a.m. Sunday's service will be the official kickoff for the new name. A ministry fair will be held directly following the worship service to celebrate the new name change. Carnival games will be set up for children with prizes, picnic-style foodwillbe served,and booths offering information on the church's ministries will be set up.

BRIEFING

Butler homers to give A's 4-2 win CHICAGO (AP)Billy Butler's ninth-inning drive cleared the rightfield wall and Avisail Garcia's glove — barely. Butler's three-run homer off David Robertson lifted the Oakland Athletics over the Chicago White Sox 4-2Thursday. At first, Butler was not sure he had a hit. "I saw him catch it, and when I saw the bullpen's reaction, it was a pretty cool feeling," Butler said. "When I sawtheir hands go up, I realized it had gone over the fence."

Curry, trophy go ta Charlotte, DAVIDSON, N.C. (AP) — Stephen Curry isn' t one to forget his roots. The NBA's Most Valuable Player returned to his alma mater Davidson College on Thursday to show off the Larry O' Brien NBA championship trophy. Curry worked out with Davidson players, participated in a question-and-answer period with college students and banked in a 25-foot jumper in the first shot ever attempted at the school's new practice facility, which is set to open in the coming weeks. He signed numerous autographs for students and even ate some chicken curry in the school cafeteria. "This is where the whole story started and I know how much the Davidson alumni and community supports me, so this is very special," Curry toldThe Associated Press. Longtime Davidson m en's basketballcoach Bob McKillop said Curry, who led the underdog Wildcats to the Final Eight in 2008, never ceases to amaze him with his humility. McKillop said Curry told him he wanted to return to celebrate this past season's success with the students. "For him to come back and say, 'I want you to be a part of this, because you are a part of this,' to me that is just outstanding," Mckillop said. "He makes everyone so proud that he's a Davidson guy."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Peyton Manningand the Denver Broncos have beaten the Kansas City Chiefs every way imaginable over the years, from playoff shootouts to defensive tug-of-wars. Well, not quite every way. Not until Thursday night. Denver cornerback Bradley Roby returned Jamaal Charles' second fumble 21 yards for a touchdown with 27 seconds left, completing a stunning comeback in the closing minute for a 31-24 victory — the Broncos' seventh straight over their AFC West rivals. "I'm not quite sure I'd ever been in one quite like that," Manning said. "That was a new one."

to the throwing hand of Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, the team's inability to run the ball in its season-opening loss to Cincinnati has to be even more troubling. ARer spending the offseason retooling the offense to revolve around the ~ g game, offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave barely broke it out against the Bengals. Oakland's 16 rushing attempts were tied with Detroit and Philadelphia for the fewest in the NFL in Week 1. When they did try to run it, the Raiders didn't have much luck and finished with just 63 yards on the ground, tied for second fewest in the NFL.

Hyde moved from C incinnati to Naples, Florida, after his first year in high school to live with his grandparents and get on a better path.

team's offseason program.

"After I hurt my calf I was like, 'Yeah, I'm doing whatever I have to do to make sure my legs are always fresh,' " he said."I had to do that.I wasn't always serious about taking care of my body. Frank is like a big brother to me. He looked afier me, just showed me the ropes. Taking care of your body, that was one thing I paid attention to. Frank took really good care of his body." It gets tougher from here for Hyde now that opposing defenses have film to study of his breakout performance Monday. He will look to build off that Sunday at P i ttsburgh's Heinz Field. "I' ve been waiting for him to get the opportunity to run the ball that much," 49ers linebacker Michael Wilhoite said. "I think Carlos will be a really good player in this league for a long time. He got to learn from the best for a whole year last year. When you learnfrom a guy like Frank Gore like I learned from Pat (Willis) and (NaVorro Bowman), you can only go one way."

ing overtime, Charles was stripped by Brandon Marshall and the ball bounced rightinto Roby's hands. The dramatic about-face came after Knile Davis gave Kansas City the lead with 2:27 left on an 8-yard run, raising hope among a sellout crowd that the Chiefs might finallyend some curses.

Instead, Denver won its 13th straightdivision road game, breaking a tie with the San Francisco 49ers (198790) for most in NFL history. And forone night, Manning quieted his growing doubters by improving to 14-1 in his career against the Chiefs. "I' ve been involved in a couple of pretty crazy games," he said, "but nothing quite like this." Charles finished with 125 yards rushing and a touchdown, but he will only remember his fumbles — one in the red zone early in the game, the other deep in his own territory late in the game.

"I have to be careful with the ball," Charles said. "It' s my fault." Alex Smith threw for 191 yards for Kansas City, but also had two passes picked off ''We thought we had it won," Davis said. "Unfortunately, they made the touchdown and it was our time to overcome and win the game, and we couldn't finish. It was an emotionalrollercoaster."

Manning threw a pick-six of his own, but he responded when it mattered the most. The Broncos took over at their own 20 after Davis had given Kansas City the lead, and the seven-time All-Pro marched them calmly down field.Manning found Demaryius Thomas for three long receptionsto get deep into Chiefs territory, then hit

Sanders with a strike over the middle on third-and-10 &om the Chiefs 19 for the touchdown that kept Denver alive.

'That last drive was really good," said Manning, who joined Brett Favre during the game as the onlyquarterbacks in NFL history with at least 70,000 yards passing. "I'm really proud of our young offensive line — no poise issues, no communication issues." The late-game dramatics transpiredafter the Chiefs bolted to a 14-0 lead in their

gated when right tackle Austin Howard was fl agged for holding. That put added pressure on a passing game already suffering after Carr injured his hand, and left Oakland as an easy target for Cincinnati's defense. Carr, who returned to practice this week and is expected to start Sunday, said it's too easy to blame the running game for Oakland's struggles moving the ball. "It works hand in hand," the second-year quarterback said. "If we' re throwing it well, that's going to help Latavius. If Latavius is running well, that's going to help us on the perimeter. It's a team game. It works both ways. ''We have to be more efficient first and second down, myself included. I have to be more efficient in where to

throw the football, what coverages are and what's the best option to help us do that. As long as we can do that, we' ll be just fine."

Arizona looks to shore Up screen defense against Bears TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — James Bettcher isoff to a good start as the Arizona Cardinals' new defensive coordinator. Except when it comes to defending those screen passes and other short tosses to the running back, that is. So the Cardinals know they will see more of those plays when they are in Chicago on Sunday, particularly considering the Bears have Matt Forte, one of the most adept receivers on screen plays in the NFL. "Anytime you show something on film you are going to get it for at least a month because it's a copycat league," Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. "Until you put the fire out, that' s all you' re going to see. We have to do a betterjob ofsecuring that area this week and putting out the fire." Bettcher called the breakdowns in Arizona's 31-19 victory over New Orleans"very correctable plays."

"Keeping leverage on the ball, understanding where your help is, understanding where your eyes have got tobe,"he said,"thoseare some of the core things that showed up coming out of that game for us." Bettcher said that in practice this week "guys were very, very aware" of what needed to be corrected. While the Cardinals effectively shut down the Saints' running game — 54 yards on 20 carries — running back Mark Ingram caught eight passes for 98 yards, and backup Khiry Robinson caught five for 51yards. Ingram gained59 yards on one play. The Cardinals know Forte is as good as there is in the screen game. "All those screens versus the Saints were just having guys miss assignments," cornerback Jerr aud Powers said, "guys not doing their job. So as long as guys do their job, we' ll be fine."

3ets' Marshall returns to Indy nearly 6 yearsafter big game FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)Brandon Marshall remembers hav-

ing a feeling that he was about to do something that had never been done in the NFL. The New York Jets wide receiver was with the Denver Broncos in 2009 when he was preparing for a mid-December game against the Colts in Indianapolis. "I was so locked-in and focused," Marshall recalled Thursday. "I actuallywent up to a reporter before the game and said, 'This is going to be the biggestgame I've ever played.'" He was right. And then some. Marshall set an NFL record by catching 21 passes from Kyle Orton that day, going for 200 yards and two touchdowns in Denver's 28-16 loss. The man nicknamed"Baby T.O."back then broke Terrell Owens' league

mark by one reception. "I' ve never been that focused before," Marshall said. "I didn't even see or feel anything." Marshall will play in Indianapolis for the first time since that record-blasting performance when the Jets (1-0) take on the Colts (0-1) on Monday night. He had already made a Pro Bowl appearance and had an 18-catch game, but that game firmly established Marshall as one of the elite playmakuig receivers in the league. The Pro Football Hall of Fame celebrated the accomplishment by displaying his game-worn jersey — something Marshall wants back Irom the folks in Canton, Ohio. "I'm being serious," Marshall said. "I went to Canton to visit my jersey and it was in the basement. They had T.O.'s 18 catches up and they took mine down. They told me it was suppose9y coming off of a road show, so I would like to have my jersey back."

Deshaun Wathson provided many of the positives by throwing two touchdown passes while Wayne Gallman ran for 139 yards as the Tigers won the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both schools.

Day is playing so well that he said every round feels like practice. "No matter what you do, even if you hit a bad shot, it's going to be all right," Day said. "That's kind of the way it feels. It's hard to explain because I'm just out there and I'm not really paying attention to the score and I'm hitting it down the middle and hitting it on the greens and holing putts."

"I just knew For first-year head coach to be looked at. What is nice

is we have enough medical help that it is not necessarily the coach's decision. It's nice to have an independent third party." Noonan does all the place kicking for the Bears, and plays tight end. He has one reception for nine yards, and has made 15 of 20 PAT' s. He perfectly executed an onside kick last week against Bradshaw Christian. "It's good to know that we have a great kicker back, because after Bryce (Farrell) graduated, everyone was kinda wondering who the kicker would be," said senior lineman

Kole Elkins. "When Noonan said he was coming out for football again, I couldn't have been more excited." "Having a guy that can kick is veryimportant," Leveroos said. "A third of the game is kicking. It's not just PAT' s and field goals. It's kickoffs, punts and onside kicks. It is extremely important and in all three of our games, our

kicking game has given us a spark." Though Noonan played under the bright Friday night lights, he still remains one of thebiggest supporters of Summerville soccer,and regularly attends the games. "I go to every soccer game," Noonan said. "My little brother (Justin) is a sophomore and is playing varsity so I go to support him and the team. I'm still tight with them."

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

Wife glvlng key to ex taking It a bit too far DEAR ANNIE: My wife gave her ex (her son's father) a key to our home without telling me. I found out when I got home and he was sitting in our living room surfing the Web on my laptop. My wife says she gave him the key so he can let himself in on the three nights a month he's scheduled to pick up their son for dinner as part of the custody agreement. But he has been making a lot of unscheduled stops at our house — to use the bathroom, have a snack, etc. I told my wife I don't like this, but she said, Don't be selfish. It's my home, too!" I spoke to this man politely and told him I don' t want him letting himself in, but he replied, "She says I can come over whenever I like." Am I being unreasonable about this arrangement?

my numbers were HDL 65, triglycerides 86 and LDL 205. Because the triglycerides and HDL were still within the reference range but there was a large increase in the LDL, my doctor recommended that I have a coronary calcium screening done. This score came back a 3. Given that number, my doctor felt I did not need to be on a statin. I might add that none of my other yearly blood

ANSWER: The most important point is that an LDL of 200 is too high, and it should be treated, normally with a statin. If you had side efFects to simvastatin (the statin component of Vytorin), then try atorvastatin (Lipitor), rosuvastatin (Crestor) or even other statins if need be. The evidence is still that the statin class is best to prevent heart attack and death. Rosuvastatin can be taken every other day, which might reduce muscle aches. The issue with your calcium score is trickier. I enlisted the help of a cardiologist, Dr. Erica Jones, at Cornell. She notesthat a low calcium score predicts low risk of heart attack in the next 15 years in people who have not been tak-

on a statin. DR. ROACH WRITES: In a recent column, I suggested an MRI for a person with longstanding dizziness and a pacemaker. Several astute readers pointed out that MRI scans are not normally done for people with pacemakers, and wanted to know if that had changed.

Now West should work out to win with his diamond king and cash the heart ace, which results in a speedy down one.
